Fascinating that Sanders' supporters are a mere 8% here

170. Usually there are three sides to a story

Yours, mine and the truth.

But I don't find that to be fascinating because it is old news. I failed, as someone trying to be reasonably objective, to engage many of Sanders' supporters I have encountered. As I said above some will, some won't, so what? Next.

Now the ones whom I could reach, perhaps they are victims. I don't think so but hey, I am not perfect. If I thought it would advance an actual dialogue I might fall on my sword.

But again that is old news. I prefer the here and now. What's.past is prologue.

You can speculate as much as you can, but the 8% number is the 8% number and it is small. It is much smaller than the volume of Bernie Sanders would suggest, in my opinion. I specifically refer to this "Our Revolutuon" schtick, this idea (apparently a myth) that the radical left (a small minority of Democrats apparently allied with non-Democrats) will take over the party.

After the 2016 primaries there was a lot of chatter, to which I said go for it. Set up your institutions. Run local candidates. Put your money where your mouth is.

Here we are in 2019, 8%, more mouth less money.

Fascinating, but no surprise.
